West Coast - Back Up In This Bitch (XXL Magazine Feature Preview!!)

[drakeshakenbake]

I'm sorry, but for those of you who can't see Crooked I is the future, why not? How is this man not everything a rapper should be? So what dude ain't released an album yet, NOBODY, eastcoast or westcoast, worldwide, can see him when it comes to lyrics. Call me a dickrider or whatever, if that makes you feel better, but Crooked I is the truth.

And HELL YEAH for a new suga free album  , maybe he can hook up with Quik again!

I agree, but at the same time it's nice to see a mainstream music publication showing the west some love.

I'll consider it a baby step towards getting XXL to give the west regular coverage.

I gotta say, this is the first magazine purchase I'll be making in a long time.

Yeah, you're right.  Atleast some artists from the West are gettin some exposure.

It's because he's been around for so long and he hasn't dropped an official album yet.  Nobody is questioning his lyrical skills but I think his continued delays and his wanting to be a "BOSS" instead of taking a deal as an artist is what get people frustrated with him.

SMH @ that list XXL put together, what are those dudes smoking... half those names should be no where near a top 15 list.

[Si-Chiggedy]

Ya Boy should have been there, but I believe every name on there deserves to be there...and others that were omitted as well. With lists like this you are always going to have disagreements. 

No, Keak and Suga Free definetely not. Not that I hate on Suga Free tho, he is a dope rapper to me, I really like his music, but he will never sell or have an impact. He's just the pimp who he always have been.
Ya Boy misses there, also Damani...

^ they were put under the right category for artists with new albums coming out: should've blown already...

[Si-Chiggedy]

but doesn't that mean they expect him to blow now?

[D-Reborn]

no Custom Made? ok they not strictly mainstream but they could lyrically kill most of these ones
